First time visitors to Maine we knew there had to be an apple orchard somewhere! We were not…read moredisappointed taking a drive inland from Kittery for fresh orchard apples!! Loved that you could mix different varieties in a bag. So we each got our own bag with our favorites. That first bite was fresh, sweet and crunchy. From WI but living in AZ now, driving through country roads, seeing all the trees and beautiful lakes was a treat from the desert landscape!! Very enjoyable seeing a bit of fall color change starting to happen. Miss that!!

Get your pick on!…read more Had a fantastic time with the family picking early season raspberries, apples and peaches. The orchard grows a ton of different apple varieties so there's good picking during the full apple season. We got to choose between Zestar and Jerseymac apples during our visit. I'm a big fan of crisp and tart so the Zestars fit the bill. Peach picking was a bit of the same only fewer varieties. Raspberry picking was a fun new experience. You're essentially hunting and the fruit that is ready to be picked will slide off their cone-like cores. Since it was early in the season most of the berries were small or immature and there were a ton of bees buzzing around. I mean a ton where you'd go to pick and they would be buzzing around your hand. Don't worry though! The bees are friendly and indifferent to your picking the fruit. Just be gentle. Pro tip: come on a day where there's a breeze. We went on a still day in August and it was hot! 90 minutes in the sun and we were feeling pretty crunchy.

We've been going to the McDougal Orchards for years to pick fresh peaches and apples (love them!)…read morebut we never found a place near Kennebunk for Blueberries. On recommendation from McDougals, we went to check out this farm and was not disappointed! The Rivard Farm is a fantastic spot to pick blueberries! We came in early / mid August and there was plenty to pick from. They'll give you a plastic bag or jug and you weigh on your way out. Prices are good by the pound and you're getting the real deal from Maine! A fantastic family activity regardless of weather at a small family farm.

Beautiful Fall Vibes, Donut Win, Food Truck Fail…read more We visited McKenzie Farm for their Mctoberfest event and had a great time overall. It was super busy, cars packed in everywhere, long lines to get in to pay for the things we bought and for donuts. But once inside, the fall charm made up for it. There was no admission fee which was nice. The apple picking was peaceful with no lines and perfect for photo ops and enjoying the day. We got lucky with hot, fresh apple cider donuts that had just come out when we paid and they were absolutely delicious. The apple cider slushie was refreshing, and I grabbed caramel popcorn to go. Big downside: we waited 20 minutes in line at a food truck only to be told they had to shut down because they ran out of food right when it was our turn. Major bummer! That said, the weather was beautiful, the energy was festive, and the free entry is a big plus. Worth visiting, just go early, expect crowds, and maybe pack a snack!

We did it all--apple and peach picking, and we even got to cut our own beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers. The Sandwich Shop and Farm Store: We stopped by the sandwich shop for lunch and the food was incredible. We opted for the Apple Turkey Sandwich and it was easily a 10/10--the perfect seasonal bite. The farm market itself is a dream and has absolutely everything you could want. We stocked up on warm cider donuts (absolute heaven) Local honey and fresh apple cider, Homemade jams & farm pies. The Experience: The orchards are beautiful, clean, and loaded with perfect fruit. Ending the afternoon in the flower fields cutting our own colorful blooms was the perfect finishing touch. Friendly staff, amazing atmosphere, and delicious treats. 5 stars all the way!

They had a tractor that took you up the hill to some newly opened patches, but the line was long. We opted for the patches within close walking distance that still had a lot of strawberries. There's plenty of things to do for both adults and children. A fun obstacle course, giant sandbox, tire swings, and chicken feeding for kids. Hard cider, live music, a couple food carts, a mini craft pop-up and farm market/bakery for adults. There was also a strawberry shortcake and fresh cider donut stand. The pulled pork from the PitchFork food cart was plentiful and affordable. Lots of seating with umbrellas and it never felt super crowded. Parking across the street was easy. Only comment is wayfinding signage for the U-pick could be improved. More festivals like pollinator and cherry will be in the coming weeks, and we'd definitely return. We went to the beach afterwards (~15 mins) to take full advantage of the beautiful day.

Upon arriving, we saw all the beautiful Christmas trees for sale and were immediately greeted by a very nice young man who asked if we'd ever been there. He welcomed us to check out the store and that there was complimentary mulled cider, apples, and fresh-popped popcorn and coffee, and a whole sitting area to enjoy it in. We purchased their own Cryovacced beef and sausage, some fresh veggies, homemade baked goods, and some cider. The staff was AMAZINGLY friendly! As we were leaving, my children saw some very small broken Christmas tree twigs in the parking lot and wanted to take them home for the ride so they could smell the pine. Another young man called over to me and said he had a better piece for them than what we found on the ground and he gave them a large branch! It just made their day! Then, my daughter saw the horses and he invited us to go and look at them. It was such a gorgeous setting and we really enjoyed everything we purchased. The sausage is out of this world!!! I'd drive 5 hours just to purchase it again!
